LIVE CLASSES & MEETINGS WITH RANYA


Use the "Add to Calendar" button so you can set reminders for yourself in your computer or phone calendar. Then at meeting time you can click the "Take the Class" button to immediately join the class via Zoom. Yes, it's ok to join late if you need to!  Just be sure to keep your audio on mute (with a red line through it, over the microphone icon).

SEE BELOW for more on participating in the live sessions, how to watch the recordings if you miss them live, and when to expect recordings to be up on the site.

NOTES ON LIVE CLASSES & THEIR RECORDINGS:

  • The "Add to Calendar" buttons should be accurate! But if you notice any error (like a discrepancy in what the time says on the site and on the calendar-add link), please let us know so we can fix it!  It should show the meeting time in your own time zone when you add to your calendar, but you can check one of these sites to confirm for your time zone: World Time Buddy  or TimeandDate.com
  • Your video and sound will be off at the start of the live Zoom meeting, but for many meetings, you may want to activate your video when you get into the meeting to say hi in the few minutes before the formal recorded class or meeting begins. (That's optional! But it's nice to connect with you 😀 )  And do not fear: Video of you saying hi or dancing will never be posted on the website without your permission. If you ever want to ask an "anonymous" question, email it to us at support@gingercity.com or use the Submit Question form, with the note to us that you want to be anonymous. It's easy!
  • If you are submitting dance-related/movement-related/other questions where a visual would be helpful, you can submit a video link in advance (not at time of meeting). The link must be easily opened even if someone is not logged in; otherwise Ranya won't be able to look at your link. Include counter numbers so Ranya can skip right to the part that refers to your question. If it's your video and you want it to be more private, you can use Youtube unlisted and then delete the video after the Q&A is over. If you want to password-protect your video (as you can on Vimeo.com, even with a free Vimeo account), that is acceptable, but not a link shared with specific email addresses or account holders. PLEASE, before submitting, test your video link by opening an incognito window in Google Chrome browser (under File in the Chrome menu); it should work even if you are not logged in, with no error message. If it doesn't, you'll need to troubleshoot. Videos from private Facebook groups cannot be shared. Vimeo "review" links cannot be shared; make sure it is the actual link and not the review link. If you don't use Google Chrome, try sending it to a friend to test first. This will save a lot of time for Ranya if she can see your video immediately, and to skip to the most relevant counter links. Do this all in advance so Ranya has enough time to review for the upcoming Q&A, otherwise it might need to be for the next one! Thank you!
  • Go to https://zoom.us to learn more about the Zoom platform and to download their desktop, tablet or phone app. It is possible to join the Zoom meeting without their app, opening it in a browser instead, but the features and quality will be better in their app. 
  • It may take a few days for completed sessions to be archived online under Programs, so thanks for your patience. We add "jumplinks" (counter markers to find specific material in the class easily) as we can after the videos are edited and posted, but that will usually take longer. After a meeting is held, we'll post on the Live Classes and Meetings page when it's been uploaded to Programs or Q&A Sessions or you'll get notice by email, usually soon after it goes up. Let us know if you have any questions!
